Wang Zhi's words were straightforward, and everyone understood it very well.

If one day it is really necessary to use the defenders around the capital to protect the capital, then won't the iron hooves of the Tatars trample on the capital?

Utkin Khan is the god of war on a par with Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu, and if the people in the Beijing battalion do not have Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu as commanders, I am afraid that they will not be the opponents of the Tatars at all.

King Lijun lowered his head, not daring to let people see the emotion in his eyes.

The Queen Mother was slightly dissatisfied, only to feel that the Marquis of Qingyang's words had fallen the dignity of the Queen Mother's Zhou family, and was not worthy of her promotion these days.

Qingyang Hou was shocked and speechless, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said with his head held high: "I only said this for the sake of the safety of the Queen Mother and the people in the city. ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother's face finally softened, and she nodded with a smile, "It's good that you can have this kind of determination." In this case, the matter of Zeng Bing's Heavenly Gate Pass will be left to you to discuss with Lord Wang. ”

Wang Zhi arched his hand and responded loudly: "The ministers obey the decree of the Queen Mother!" ”

Qingyang Hou beat a drum in his heart, and he was not to be outdone, and he also saluted: "Obey the order." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, the matter in the north was resolved, and her heart relaxed a little, and she had a smile on her face.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was in a better mood, the Marquis of Qingyang smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, the retreat of the Long Xiang Army to Tianmen Pass must also be an expedient measure, but the Tatars came too suddenly, and they will be so unprepared for a while." The Longxiang army led by Ji Juma has been fighting for many years, and it is a battle-hardened army of tigers and wolves, and it is believed that as long as it regroups, the Longxiang army will definitely be able to expel the Tatars from the territory of our dynasty. ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile and nodded frequently, although her son-in-law was not pleasant, and people didn't know how to feel sorry for people, she often came to the palace to cry with An Yang. However, his ability to lead troops is indeed not negligible, and I believe that the Long Xiang army he brought out is not an incompetent person, and there is no reason why it is so easy to let the Tatars enter the gate of heaven.

The Queen Mother's heart is more stable.

After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty has only been established for five years, and the soldiers who fought the world at the beginning are still hot-blooded, and if they are released, they must be screaming and biting the enemy like hungry wolves, and the Queen Mother still has confidence in this.

Wang Zhi, the secretary of the military department, squinted at the Marquis of Qingyang, and the disdain in his heart was almost irrepressible.

It seems that he still underestimated the Marquis of Qingyang, who said that he would only spend all his time drinking? This whisker is not bad at slapping horses. Thinking of the saint who didn't know life and death, Wang Zhi's eyebrows couldn't help it.

Even if there is no turmoil in the DPRK and China, and the saint comes to preside over the overall situation, such a crisis cannot be easily solved. What's more, the Queen Mother is a female streamer with no political acumen, and a cowardly and incompetent county king?

These people really want to seek power, and they want to go crazy.

Wang Zhi was not interested in flattering the Queen Mother here, so he bowed and retired.

Before leaving the palace gate, he didn't forget to call the Marquis of Qingyang: "Hou Ye, why don't you go with me?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "The mourning family still has something to say to the Marquis of Qingyang." ”

Wang Zhi should be, bowed and stepped back. Seeing this, King Lijun also saluted and retired.

The Queen Mother kept nodding dignifiedly, and after the outsiders left, she called Qingyang Hou to her with a serious face.

"Dayong. Now the mourners have given you all the power they can give you. You have to work hard, fight for the mourning family, and also fight for our Zhou family. Although we have a good life on weekdays, others say that it is the emperor's benevolence and filial piety, which is why our Zhou family is today. Although the mourning family also knows that the emperor is filial, what is worse than our Zhou family? ”

Hearing that the Queen Mother called herself a small character, Qingyang Hou also called out closely: "Sister." ”

Sitting beside the Queen Mother, he swore and said: "The saint is indeed not thin to our family, and he is filial enough to my sister." But I'm not a decoration in the army, and I don't really have the ability to rely on the face of the saint. This time, my sister can rest assured, I will definitely think of ways to stabilize our country, and I won't let people say that my sister asked me to be the coach of the Tiger Ben Army for personal gain. ”

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction when she heard this: "That's what the mourning family means." You are the younger brother of the mourning family, every move represents the mourning family, you have to work hard to make the mourning family's face also bright. ”

"Sister, don't worry." Qingyang Hou laughed loudly: "That Xiao Zhixi is just a high person outside, what can a hairy boy do?" In the past, your brother didn't have a chance, but now that you have given me such a good opportunity, of course I will take advantage of it. ”

The Queen Mother nodded with great satisfaction.

However, at this moment, a lieutenant official suddenly replied outside the hall: "Queen Mother! The king of the military department asks to see you! ”

"Didn't you just leave? What's wrong with it? The Queen Mother's heart jumped, and her face turned white with fright.

passed Wang Zhi in, but saw that Wang Zhi's face was worse than just now.

"Empress Dowager, Southern Yongning Mansion, Hengzhou Mansion, and Jianyang Mansion declared independence, echoing with Southern Yan, Southern Yan Emperor Yu Chi Xujie Zen Throne, supporting the former Yan Dynasty Emperor Yu Chi Yan to re-ascend the throne!"

Speaking of this, Wang Zhi's face was already iron-blue, and he said tremblingly: "Queen Mother, the south is also in chaos!" Those ministers who fled from the Yan Dynasty must have been premeditated, and now they are taking their families to join their original emperor! ”

The Queen Mother's mind was buzzing, and she could no longer maintain Fang's composure.

The matter in the north has not been resolved, and the south is also in chaos, is it possible that the Tatars and the Yan Dynasty have made an appointment?

The Queen Mother looked at Wang Zhi for help, and then at her trusted brother, and said anxiously: "How can this be good?" ”

Qingyang Hou's face was even more ugly than the Queen Mother's.

He had a headache at the thought of going to fight the Tatars, and he couldn't imagine that the Yan Dynasty had now returned to the country. If it is a two-phase attack, what should he do?

"The Queen Mother is relieved. The southern forces are not in the climate. Yu Chiyan was originally a bad breed, even if the three mansions near Nanyan echoed it, there was nothing to be afraid of in a place like Nanyan. ”

Qingyang Hou said loudly: "I think that the biggest danger of Nanyan is not in the military disaster, but in the hearts of the people. ”

"People's hearts?" The Queen Mother calmed down a little.

The Marquis of Qingyang said: "Queen Mother, those subordinates who fled from the Yan Dynasty must have returned to Wei Chi Yan again." There are still many of them who haven't left, haven't they? These people are in the capital, and if they can't keep it, they will want to listen to our military intelligence. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately slapped her thigh, "Isn't it!" Go, carefully investigate the remnants of the Yan Dynasty, and arrest the mourning family and torture them severely! Be sure to find out what they Yan Dynasty people are going to do! ”

"Yes!" The Marquis of Qingyang received the order.

Wang Zhi glanced at Qingyang Hou, and became even more disdainful of this person.

Whether it is Xiao Xiao or Ji Zeyu, he is convinced to be the coach of the Tiger Army, but what Wang Zhi is most unaccustomed to is a mediocre talent like Qingyang Hou who can only shoot horses and cannot be used at critical moments, but the Queen Mother's intention to seize power is so obvious, his status really can't change the decision above.

Wang Zhi only hopes that the saint will be saved as soon as possible.

If the saint can't be saved, and there is no capable minister in the court who can provoke Daliang to turn the tide, I'm afraid that the Great Zhou will be in danger!

There are two big things in the court, and they can't be hidden after all. The Northern Longxiang Army lost three passes in a row and retreated to Tianmen Pass to wait for reinforcements. The Southern Yan Dynasty was revived again, and the Sanfu and Southern Yan echoed to support Wei Chiyan's re-entry into status. Once the south moves, the Great Zhou is really a two-sided attack.

When Qin Yining and his father heard the news, they were silent for a while.

The Yan Dynasty's subordinates disappeared overnight, and it must have been negotiated a long time ago.

However, as the head of the Yan Dynasty's subordinates, they didn't show any words to Qin Huaiyuan in advance.

Yu Chiyan fled, he didn't know.

When the ministers returned home, he didn't know.

Being marginalized and concealed like this made Qin Huaiyuan's heart mixed for a while.

Qin Yining comforted Qin Huaiyuan: "Father, it's good not to tell you these things. If they do find you, but they have to face a choice, wouldn't it be a dilemma? It's still so good. You are no longer an official, our family only wants to live together freely, nothing else, it doesn't matter if you look for us or not, do you say yes or not. ”

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and nodded: "What you said is true." What I am thinking about now is nothing more than that Zhixi can go home safely, you can give birth to Lin'er safely, and I can't care about the chaos in the court. When my father is old in the future, I may want to go back to my hometown. Maybe I will also live in my hometown, after all, our family's previous Zhuangzi are all in the south. I don't care about the rest. ”

Qin Yining saw that Qin Huaiyuan said sincerely, not to comfort her perfunctory, so she put her mind at ease.

"Princess." Xianyun's slightly impatient voice came from the door, "There is a group of people from outside the house, led by a lieutenant official, who said that he wanted to invite the old lady out." I have something to ask. ”

Qin Yining and Qin Huaiyuan glanced at each other, and they both thought about it in their hearts.

Qin Yining said: "Can I hear them say where did the palace people come from?" Is it from the Heart Cultivation Palace, or from the Ci'an Palace? ”

"The slave doesn't know. However, the lieutenant also brought Jin Wuwei from the palace. It seems that the comer is not good. ”

Qin Huaiyuan said: "It must be because of Nanyan's affairs, and not all the ministers who came to the Yan Dynasty have left." Those men were presumably also arrested. ”

Qin Yining stood up and slapped the table.

"They're a good idea. Want to arrest someone in my palace? It also depends on whether they have the ability to do it. ”

Qin Yining was furious and ordered, "Mobilize all the Jinghu Guards." Take me out and have a look. I'd like to see what they are going to ask my father! ”

Xianyun should be, so he quickly went down and ordered. Jiyun and rock candy changed into outdoor shoes for Qin Yining, worried that she would catch a cold after the rain, and took lotus lotus-colored Ruyi pattern placket cloud shoulders to drape for her.

Qin Huaiyuan stood up helplessly and ordered someone to help him, "Go with you for your father." You don't want to be too angry and treat you badly. Then will speak to them for the Father. ”

Qin Yining knew that these people must have been arranged by the Queen Mother's elm brain. The emperor was lost, and they didn't think about how to stabilize the government and deal with the north and south, but they first grabbed people in the capital, because they were afraid that the Great Zhou would not be chaotic enough.
